Tommy told Belfast Live: “I think this Walk the Wall campaign is really about opening up the borders, opening up the walls to bring people from both sides of the community together.

He went on: “I’m involved in the charity, Active Communities Network, and it’s about bringing activity, bringing sport, to young people in under privileged areas of Belfast, of Northern Ireland and trying to get them involved in activities and sports that can help the community and allow them to become friends.”

The trail, led by Cavan and his family, will weave its way from New Barnsley down Springfield Road; Lanark Way and Cooper Way, Falls Road and Northumberland Street, Shankill Road before making its way to Belfast City Hall.

Mum Emma told Belfast Live: “I just feel so touched to have these young people, most who haven’t met Cavan before, helping my son and helping to get him walking. It just melts my heart and I will never forget what they have done for him.”

Active Communities Network’s Head of Programmes NI, Jim Donnelly added: “I think it’s a good event and even outside of what it’s raising money for, I think it’s a good event for young people from both traditions have come together to organise something and use the peace walls as a positive symbol.”
